Calandra D. Morton, 40, was arrested Tuesday in connection with the April 12 incident, a Jefferson County arrest warrant said.

Morton followed her ex-husband and his girlfriend from a party to their home, where she started to argue with the woman from inside her car, the warrant said.

When the victim's girlfriend walked away, Morton revved the engine and moved to hit her, but Morton's ex-husband jumped in front of the car and received numerous injuries, the warrant said. He was taken to University of Louisville Hospital.

Morton fled the scene before police arrived, the warrant said.

Morton was charged with two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment and a count of second-degree assault. She was being held at Louisville Metro Corrections on a $5,000 bond.
